Presbyterian Downtown Hospital

Being it’s during COVID, there were minimal people at the ER Dept. I arrived, triage and into a bed very quickly to address my emergency situation. Note that there was only one person ahead of me when I arrived in the waiting area. I was placed into an room with curtains as door and all the procedure was done very efficiently and was seen my a doctor very soon. The was very attentive, asked all the necessary question and address my concern effective. MRI was done and amazes me the advancement on medical tech. I did not need to get out of bed or move as they brought a portable X-ray machine to do my X-ray. I didn’t even have to move as they did everything whilst I was in bed. Absolutely awesome. Eventually, I was administer for emergency surgery. I was brought up to my room. It wasn’t a sha

Presbyterian Downtown Hospital provides quality care with skilled staff, though busy times lead to longer waits. Facilities are clean, but improvements in patient flow are needed.

Not a bad place to die. Good staff, good food, sadly poor hospital. I mean you have a bathroom with nothing else but a toilet paper, you need to go out to wash you hands imagine touching the door knob, it's a crowded room.(2 bed already takes up alot of space, getting to the sink was hard.) Had a minor surgery in my bed i sleep in, in the same room as the other patient. Very scary. But people really nice. Service really good. TV, not so good, limit channels. The showers is a mystery to use only got cold water. Had to just do a wipe down. They always come when you press the button(for the nurse). Better than the uptown hospital they moved me to.

There are good staffs and horrendous staffs. The good ones (2 out of 25 people we spoke to) put on a fake smile but still provided terrible medical care as a team (yes, I can see your dirty looks even under a mask). Grandma went in with a stroke, once they realize it’s not a level 1, they immediately give up. They do not care. They do not care about the patient’s well being and recovery. Emergency toss grandma to medicine team, and the medicine team is just completely unresponsive. Every consulted team comes to ask the same questions, do the same tests at least 5 times over, then they are never heard from again. Asked for pain medication for hours, none given, not even Tylenol. TRANSPORT team is completely out of their minds, we waited for hours to rule out stroke/TIA. I certainly don’t ru

I was a patient here two years ago (COVID plus other issues) for ten days and I got Great care from nurses and doctors, and especially good follow up at their center for special studies. I'm a fan. However, six months after I was a patient there, I had to call an ambulance for a friend who was seriously Ill, having suffered a stroke at my place. This cerebral incident made my friend confused and a bit angry when paramedics arrived to get him to NY PRESBYTERIAN downtown. The paramedics (a 20-30;something man and woman) didn't seem interested in calming my friend down, if anything they exacerbated the situation by their dismissive tone, and ultimately when he refused to go with them, the police were called by paramedics. At that point he settled down and went with them, tho he would have
